Classification of minerals

Minerals are classified according to the amount your body needs, each one is affected by the others through a complex metabolic interrelationship, either working in conjunction with or opposing each other.

When the body requires more than 100 milligrams of a mineral each day, that substance is known as a macro mineral  

When the body requires less than 100 milligrams of a mineral each day, that substance is known as a trace element

 

What do minerals do?

They assist in the functioning of the immune system

They provide stimulus for the muscles to contract

They are Involved in maintaining and repairing tissues and bone.

Many minerals form parts of enzymes, which participate in the regulation of physiological functions.

 

 

 

The illustration is not a complete picture of the complex synergistic relationship between minerals, it is intended to demonstrate a few of  the interactions between minerals thus showing how complex, difficult and essential balancing minerals is.

 

                              

                               Minerals that mutually antagonise each other

 

                              Minerals that work in synergy

 

The importance of ensuring that the correct ratio between minerals is maintained cannot be emphasised enough.

 

Mineral deficiency in the body can lead to ill health, and a mineral ratio imbalance will do the same. Any excessive consumption of a single mineral will antagonise other minerals.

 

The resulting imbalance may cause an interlinked chain of mineral imbalance to spread

throughout the body.
